      It's only sensible to load up as many people as you can knowing damn well you're going to crash... I know it's just a game, but damn what a dick move; I definitely understand their anger. I imagine you've become much better now at least? lol

      @@kanahbis3236 "nobody was angry" "funny hearing middle aged men screaming"... So really it was just yourself who found it funny.. Even though it can be a bit much when people take a game too seriously, but still... why not have a little decency in not screwing your team over? It's just a game, but an absolute dick move on your part as soo much time and mental energy is invested in these games and to screw your team over; potentially wasting 50 hours of peoples time (a full team playing 1 hour)- just for a little laugh...
      That speaks more about your character and who you are when no one irl is looking as opposed to them taking the game too seriously- and much of it rightfully so as it's just straight up a completely senseless and asshole move by you.

    1. PLEASE do not argue with the pilot on where to drop you off. If a location is hot and he can't drop you right on your mark that's pretty much it. You will have to run the rest of the way.
    2. If you ask for supplies with a helo, don't ask for them if there is enemy armor nearby. If it's clear one minute and then hot the next minute while the Helo is en route then LET HIM KNOW. So many times I've tried dropping supplies for people who failed to mention enemy armor nearby (armor that isn't marked)
    3. If you choose a helicopter on either the right or left helipad, that chopper is yours. Don't take another squad's helicopter if it spawns in first or if they aren't spawned in or around. Respect other peoples rights to vehicles.

    Haven't played Squad in ages, and ended up BSing around on a really cool server that no longer exists. Met a dude who 'taught' me some flying after he picked up my fireteam blasting Fortunate Son lmfaoo. I actually didn't do terrible (can't J-hook but can get her to A and B with minimal ouch) and had a great time!
    Redownloading Squad so I can get back into it and practice and hopefully someday master piloting. Gonna put some hours down in training mode with your vids as a guide. Thanks for the vids
